...Saint Louis University in Missouri. I started teaching Vacation Bible School when I was 13 and have continued teaching in many avenues, including swim lessons, CPR, and tutoring when I was in college. While I do my best to fit my style to the student and subject, I enjoy an interactive style with lots of questions and discussion the most. In my free time I enjoy sewing, knitting, and swing dancing. I love the outdoors,...

...I like to make learning fun and enjoyable and so I try to use a variety of resources to help students relate to material as well as retain it. I believe that learning should involve real world experiences. My goal is for students to become masters of their education so that in the end, the student can in fact become the teacher. Aside from tutoring I enjoy going to concerts, singing karaoke, camping, reading, and...

I believe that each child is a unique individual who needs a secure, caring, and stimulating atmosphere in which to grow and mature emotionally, intellectually, physically, and socially. It is my desire as an educator to help students meet their fullest potential in these areas by providing an environment that is safe, supports risk-taking, and invites a sharing of ideas. ... I believe in instilling a passion for lifetime learning into my students. One way I instill this passion is by being a model lifetime learner for my students. I also believe in teaching students with dignity, and in providing a fun, student-centered learning environment. I make sure that every child knows that they are worthy by listening to and caring for their needs.

...educators and plan to continue blazing that path. When it comes to motivating my students and coming up with fun innovative ways to help them learn, I consider myself second to none. Outside of academia, I take a vested interest in sports and am still an active athlete myself. I love fitness. I serve as a website administrator for the Rivals.com network and also have a past of playing the trumpet at the professional level....

...five years. My favorite part of chemistry is helping students not only improve in their classes but also making them feel more confident to achieve their goals. I am very patient with all my students. I can be flexible with meeting times and places and can also be negotiable with rates. Look forward to hearing from any/all students. I can do individual or group lessons. Please fell free to email with any questions.... My teaching philosophy focuses on developing effective feedback for students, integrative teaching between lecture and laboratory, and incorporating real world examples into the classroom. Overall, my goal is to establish an active learning environment in both the classroom and the research laboratory to successfully engage each student I encounter.

...lawyers asked me to tutor their children for the SATs and the LSAT. More and more people asked me to tutor their children, so I contacted Varsity tutors to extend my reach to people who did not know me personally. My style is energetic and engaging. As a trial attorney, I routinely have to communicate complex matters to a jury that has no experience in the fields of chemistry, biology and physics. This forces me...

...and MCAT test prep. My favorite classes to tutor are anatomy/physiology and biochemistry! As a medical student I am seeing how these subjects are applied in the human body, which makes it really fun to tutor them! My tutoring style focuses on the student taking ownership of the material. To me this means that the student is learning the material in a way that is the most optimal for them, and in a way that...

...patients. Just like a successful treatment, an effective instruction always begins with the right diagnosis. You will never see a doctor applying exact same treatment for all patients ignoring their backgrounds. Thus, an outstanding teacher must be a person who is an expert in identifying the student and his/her needs. Once the needs are determined, teacher must master the student centered instruction. Furthermore, it is imperative to be able to accurately assess the student with...

I also previously earned a Bachelor's degree in biochemistry from the University of West Florida. I have lots of experience teaching and tutoring chemistry students of all levels, and I also have done some work in the past with SAT test prep....

...about chemical reactions between molecules; the knowledge of which all later chemistry subjects rely upon. In my experience teaching and tutoring, a mixture of conceptual discussions and problem solving has been most effective for helping struggling students. In addition, I have found that relating chemistry concepts and problems to topics that are familiar in our everyday lives is a great way to make sessions fun and interesting. In my free time, I enjoy playing ultimate...
